Can we have headcanons for Benienma giving her Master cooking lessons?

Beni is very patient with you, after all, it wouldn’t be the first time she’s tried teaching someone to teach. And unlike the Servants she’s tried teaching, you were a fresh clean slate. There isn’t much unlearning that you have to do.

However, she didn’t realize just how much teaching she’d have to do. Making sure you fully understood how cooking worked, how different seasonings or the methods in which you cook something could change the entire outcome of the dish was probably the hardest thing. You were so used to cooking the bare minimum to survive while journeying through Singularities that you were content with just an egg.

Yet Beni found it enjoyable seeing you grow. You were a very dedicated student, and seeing as how much you enjoyed eating, it was clear that you were learning fast. The more you learned how amazing food could be, the more intrigued you were by all the combinations that could be made. It was impressive how quickly you were picking things up, but Beni was honestly not too surprised considering how quickly your mind worked on the battlefield. She was really proud to see how happy you were whenever someone ate your food and enjoyed it thoroughly. Whenever you would gush at her about how happy people were about the things that you made, she would simply reassure you that this is why people really enjoy cooking. Sometimes it’s not about just learning the skills, it’s also about finding the smaller details in life that makes you happy.

Beni does sometimes find that you take the idea of “liberty in cooking” to a new level. There have been some really strange combinations of foods and spices and seasoning that she’s never really thought of. She really finds it strange that you were able to even think up such combinations, but she doesn’t question it any further when she finds that maybe half the time, the food does taste really good.

Charlie Morningstar - Class Card Install: Beni-enma

Remember when I did these for Joker and a WIP for Jonathan? Remember how I made a Hazbin-style Beni-enma? Well, I decided to come back to those ideas.

So, Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel with the power of the Tongue Cut Sparrow master of the Enma-Tei.

I kept it mostly to Beni's outfit, obviously stretching it to fit Charlie's proportions. I extended the skirt to be more of a full Kimono because Charlie seems to favor suits so a skirt may not fit her. I took some creative liberties and, while Beni is a SABER class servant, I had a fun idea of combining Beni's Katana with Charlie's pitchfork to become a sort of Naginata. I thought it would fit given that Charlie already uses a pole-arm weapon in the show and Naginata's are used frequently by female characters. The hair is what killed me because I do NOT have her colors on hand, so I just gave her a Beni-enma dye job with 3rd ascension Red hair for the highlights, plus it kind of references her concept design. I chose the 2nd Ascension to base it off of mainly because that felt standard and it gave me the best look at Beni's kimono clothing, but the bright and vibrant colors of the 3rd Ascension might fit Charlie better so MAYBE I'll do another pass at this idea with the 3rd Ascension and maybe giving her an actual sword.

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen Beni-Enma?

Fast enough to kill on impact, so don’t get too comfortable

Beni-Enma so cute and her backstory is so sad I just wanna hug her and make her happy

[trainer-sean]

Did you know that Benienma had to work in the red light district as a child(social norms be fucked up back then)

Wish I had the money to be like “Hey artist who draws FGO characters, who do you think would look good in this character’s outfit?” and them pay them to draw that. Like Zetta’s outfit.

Someone could make it work.

(Art is of Overlord Zetta from Makai Kingdom, done by I believe Takehito Harada. You may recognize him as Benienma and Wu Zetian’s artist)

Reminder that in Summer event Kirei went to where Chaldea is just to eat some Mapo Tofu.

[holdharmonysacred]

Happy NA anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got a bunch of new friends in the gacha today!!!!!!!!! My regular GSSR ended up just being a dupe Benienma, but I got Summer Tomoe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I got Xu Fu, Tsuna, Roland, and finally Arc off of the Arc banner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I shot some leftovers at the Kiara rerun banner to finally get Summer Bryn!!!!!!!!!!!! Overall I’m very very happy. I’m gonna have to get up to some Shenanigans to figure out how to get the money for the big GSSR they brought over early, but even if I have to pass on that I’m happy.

I was thinking that, despite how relatively popular she is, Shuten has only had one extra version of her, so I started thinking of what kind of Alter she’d get and what sort of event would bring it about...and I hit upon a really stupid one that made me laugh so I wanna share it.

Ruler Shuten. Yes, I’m serious. 

Now the whole point of a Ruler is that they are supposed to be outside the conflict and make sure that a grail war doesn’t go off the rails and everyone follows the rules, a “judge” in other words, right? So, I was thinking, what sort of war or contest or whatever could Shuten possibly be qualified to be a judge of?

And then it hit me, cooking contest!

It would be a really silly event, like Oniland, and likewise spurred by Ibaraki saying something that manages to hit Shuten’s usually well hidden soft side. This time the younger Oni complains about how the food they serve in Chaldea isn’t as good as they used to have back on Mt. Ooe, and how now she has to share instead of just having as much as she wants. It’s a selfish want on the surface but Shuten can see that underneath that its just Ibaraki feeling a bit nostalgic for the good ol’ days.

The event is of course a big and bombastic cooking contest, like Master Chef but with explosions and people stabbing each other. All the famous, and infamous, chef servants fight a heated battle to satisfy the taste of The Grand Judge...Shuten Douji???

Everyone points out how outlandish it is that Shuten somehow managed to manifest as a Ruler, the loudest complaints of course come from Raikou, who is miffed both because she has to deal with Shuten and because she tried to cook something for Kintoki and it turned out awful so she’s using this chance to improve her skills and having to have her cooking judged by Shuten is seriously ruffling her feathers something fierce.

R: “How the hell can you possibly be qualified to judge me, insect?”

S: “Do you know how much wine I’ve drank? The feasts I’ve consumed? By sheer volume alone my tongue has more experience than anyone here~”

R: “You ate people!”

S: “Exactly! Thank you for reminding me! Yes! I ate people! Young and Old! Rich and Poor! Man and Woman! My tastes are diverse and well balanced! Truly my qualifications run deep! So here I am before you, as Ruler, as judge.”

R: “I-! You-!”

S: “So be sure to try your best~~”

Cue Shuten vanishing in a flash of light and Raikou gnashing her teeth and so begins the event. Tamamo and Kiyohime and especially Tomoe continue to be utterly atrocious at cooking and are the first bosses, Benienma continues to suffer as she opts out of the contest because she knows it would be unfair so she tries to train everyone else and boy is she in for a rough time, Archer and Boudica forming a quiet but intense rivalry as they battle it out in the kitchen for the title of Mom Of Chaldea, just a lot of small scenes of servants having fun and cooking like those mini-scnes in Oniland.

Shuten would be the featured 5 star limited servant of course, dressed in a mix of flowing white robes and a chef’s outfit that, because this is FGO and this is Shuten, gets skimpier the more you ascend her. The one thing that doesn’t change is that in every ascension...she has a little white chef’s hat between her horns. It only changes in her final ascension where it becomes a BIG white chef’s hat between her horns.  

The ending would be something like Raikou finally cooking something that satisfies Shuten (and beating each other up because they couldn’t resist) and she then turns around...and gives it to Ibaraki, who marvels at how this is exactly like the stew or whatever they used to have “way back when”. 

Ibaraki turns to Raikou and thanks her loudly and the samurai can only stammer a quiet, “thank you” and out of instinct pulls out a handkerchief to wipe Ibaraki’s face. Shuten just watches this with a quiet smile.   

So yeah if we can get a Ruler that’s a Casino Manger/Playboy Bunny why not Chef Shuten? Why the hell not huh???

Hazbin Hotel is a show I have gotten really into, and I have been following Fate/Grand Order for the past few years (haven't played it because I wanna spare my wallet and sanity though).

When thinking of them I ended up on the idea of Beni-Enma and her connections with Charlie. Daughters of the King of Hell (Charlie being the daughter of Lucifer and Beni-Enma being adopted by King Enma), Charlie owns the Hazbin Hotel and Beni-Enma has the Enma-tei Inn. So I wanted to try and draw Beni in the Hazbin-style. I mean from its sister show Helluva there were plenty of bird demons to draw reference from (although I pretty much just used Octavia as a base) and I tried to keep a sort of Yamato Nadeshiko Innkepper look. I googled "Japanese Sparrow" to get the facial markings, and the little green bow that ties the Obi together allows for a bow to be put into the design like a lot of Hazbin characters. But it was hard at first to try and simplify her design to fit Hazbin's style at first.

Not too sure what her character would specifically be.

One one hand, she could just be a character based on Beni-enma. A normal Sinner who took on a bird-like form in Hell. I thought giving her an Angelic Steel Katana would be fitting as a way for her to defend herself too.

If this is the Servant, of course you get into a lot of crazy Nasuverse stuff, like why has she taken this form, why is she summoned? The works. She wouldn't need the angelic steel katana as a servant. Anyone tries to shoot her with bullets, she just cuts the bullets faster then they can see.

If she were to join the Hotel obviously she is going to be the new main chef. Nifty is listed as the Hotel's main cook on the wiki but it is never stated in the show proper (she is only described as the housekeeper) and I like when everyone has their specific roles.

I wonder what she'd think of the Hazbin Hell, and Charlie's hotel idea.
